Hi there guy just wondering if I could grab some tips or suggestions. I recently bought myslef a 190mm painted Mazda 6 body. Now I need some help cutting the 4 holes on the Wing of the body (the kind of oval shaped ones) I want to know what the best way of doing this is without damaging the paint as It really does look good and I don't want to damage it.
All help is much appreciated!

For regular holes the best way is using a body reamer which makes your holes neat.
For the slotted holes i use the reamer for each end and then using my curved scissors i trim the section between.
A dremel can also be used to neaten the slot up.
Its one of those jobs that can be a pain unfortunately but should come out fine if you take your time

Use a body reamer your lhs should have one or a drill...why do they have to be ovel if you dont mind me asking?

Ohk now i know wat your talking about i thought you wer talking about the holes to mount the wing to the body...

Id go with wat itchy b said use a dremel.. Use a body reamer to start the hole at each end then use a hobby knife to cut it out just be stedy with your hand then use a dremel with say a sanding bit just to clean it up and get a nice clean finish


Hope this helps

What he said. Don't cut them out at all, then you won't stuff them up.

never seen anyone cut out the holes. Dont bother. You will only reduced the rear downforce and ruin the handling of the car.

There are a few threads about the holes around the place. Daleepp said something along the lines of slightly better spoiler efficiency with the same downforce.
